"Chef Maziar Farivar and his brother Shahab Farivar own this decades-old staple that serves a range of vibrant salads, sandwiches, pastas, and vegetarian chili nachos. Chef Maziar draws from his Persian roots with specials like mahi torsh-o shirin, a pistachio-crusted cod with a sweet and sour sauce of dried apricot, figs, sour cherries, and almond. Dine inside or on the patio. On the same block sits decades-old power spot Cafe Milano." - Tierney Plumb
